Elantris by Brandon Sanderson

This book from from the viewpoint of three different characters. At first it is hard to keep track of it all but I eventually got it mostly figured out. Aerlon is a city built next to Elantris the city of Gods but the Gods have all died or are dead (in a way) They are actually just not complete...and that is what needs to be figured out...how the Gods fell. Luckily there are some pretty awesome characters that come together (fate?) and help a whole nation pull through a hard time.

Princess Sarene is my favorite. She is brave and smart and knows politics! She takes on the forces of evil and out wits a few men along the way. She also finds what she really wants all along...to be accepted and loved.

It was a huge book but it was worth the time to read...almost better then a Anne McCafferey book...only no dragons...sorry.

Wow...awesome book and movie evals. Thanks for sharing all this great info! :0) I just finished a book called The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley. She also wrote The Hero and the Crown. My husband recommended it, and it was good. :0)

And...I will definitely have to check out the books by Pamela Aiden...that sounds just up my alley! :0)
